JEDDAH — “There should be a paradigm shift in one's thinking,” said Ms. Uzma Raheem to the attendees of the recently held ladies night by International Trend Setters and Events Management Group. Women from various nationalities enjoyed a fabulous cultural evening organized by the group headed by Amrina Qaisar and Shabeena Aslam.

Almruaa, the President and Founder of Naturopathy Medicine, and Uzma Raheem, the CEO and founder of “HOPE” — center for special needs. In her address Raheem said: ”You attract what you seek, you look for good you get good, you have negative thoughts, you attract negative energy and this is a cycle that you perpetuate.” “So make sure you do not get trapped in such a circle. Revolution, transformation, positive metamorphosis all are within a person's grasp, you only have to search within to find the hidden gems,“ she added.
